C., July 13.—Tne Potter Comumittee oceuplod itself with Senator Kel- lozw to-day, and completed his examination. The Committee subsequently held an executive session, and concluded to adjourn to meet at Atluntic City on the 23d of next month. It is thie present futention to sumuon several of the visiting statesmen, Including the Secretary of the Treasury, for ex amination at thay point. §ulixlu§z of value to the Democrats was elicited from Kellogrg, and upon the completion of Lis examination the Democrats are still more disappointed, if possible, than they were with yesterdav’s | evidence. DButler was unsuc- ful in attempting to establish any of the voluts of his case. There wns a labored effort to attempt to prove thiat Kelloeg in- formed Senmator Morton and Garfield, of the Electoral Commission, that the -second of the certfficates from Louisiana contsined false sig- natures. Senator Kellogg, howerer, EMPUATICALLY DENIED THIS, stating that he himsclf had heard of this ir- regularitynt the time, dut the objection which he presented to Morton to the second of the certificates was that they had been prepared some- duys after the adjournment of the Elect- oral College of that State. Upon this sugges- tion it appears that Morton introduced a reso- lution in the Electoral Commission declaring that certificate No. 1, received by matl, contained a correct transcript of the proceedings of the Electoral ~ Colleze in Louisiana, and that it should be counted as the vote of that State, and this was azreed to byavote of 8to7, €0 that, as a matter of fact, the sccond set of re- turns y WERE NOT CONSIDERED by the Electorai Commission, aud the vote of Louisiana was counted upon u certificate which contamed the genuine sizuature of each Elector.. Butler’s atteiupt to vrove thet a majority of the Supervisors of seventeen parishies, the vote of which Iad beeit revised Ly the Returning Board, had been appointed to office by President Huyes, brought. out the fact irom Kelloge tht only five or six of them had been appointcd, and that, 05 & matter of fact, with the exception of Auderson, they were all persous fitted for the pasitions whick they beld. w KELLOGG. S IS FORTHER CATECHISED. WasniNerox, D. C., July 18.—Tue Potter In- vestizating Committee to-day resumed the ex- amination of Senator Kelloge. In answer to questions by Mr. Bpringer, the Senator zaid that e 1net the visiting statesmen on several ocea- sions in New Orleans. He had no knowledee that any letter or telezram had been sent from Columbus, 0., by Gov. Hayes, to any member or members of the Returning'Board during the progress of the couut. He does not recollect that hie ever conversed with E. L. Weber re- gardfrig his brother’s “standing firm" to his protest. - He wrote Mrs. Jenks but two lettess, both in reference to requests of Lers that he (Ketlogg) should use his goud oftices toward se- curing either ber hushand or brother a position in the New Orleans Custom-House, be baving, however, incidentally inquired, iu one of the letters, if she knew of anything definite regard- ing the “much-talked-of letter.” Q.—Did you refer to the Sherman lettert A.,—Yes, sir; but I cannot now say whether or 6t 1 mentioned the name of Sherman. ‘The testimony of Mr. Jeuks, to the effect that both he and his wife had correspouded with Mr. Kellogg, for several years, the witness pro- noupced a mistake. Their correspondence had all oceurred since 1877, Inreply to Chairman Potter, Mr. Kellozg said that Mrs. Jenks did not come to Washing- ton at his request, nor in his interest. He did not know the object of ber visit. He had heard her remark that she *hoped Mr. Packard would receive the Collectorshin,” but he coutd not say that she was here to assist in effecting that re- sult. He (Kellogg) thinks that Mrs. Jenks is mistaken in ber statement that shie had FREQUENT INTERVIEWS WITH I regaraing the count during its progress. If any such interview had occurred, he thought he should bave remembered it, and he bas no recotlection whatever, at this time, of any such conversations with her. James C. Anderson was not considered by him’ as a trustworthy Kepublican. He (witness) did not recollect whether or not D. A. Weber was appointed by bim iu_the po- sition which he hield in New Orleans. He knew nothing of the standivg of Mrs. Jenks. Heal- ways considered her husband an honorable gen- tleman and a good Kepublican. ‘e Chairman then questioned the witness very closely as to wiether or not he had any knowledge, 85 the Governor of Louisiana, that there had been no protest made from the Parishies of East and West Feliciana. The witness stated in reply that the record would show; whereupon Mr. Poster repeated his question, and REQUESTED A DIRECT REPLY, 3 which the wituess refusea to give, saying: “T Tnow nothing about it; but if you will give me tive minutes I can find it in therecord.” Mr. Potter—\We cun refer to the record our- elves. Witness—Well, then, I cannot reply further to the question. The witness, in reply to further questions re- garding the existence of intimidation, stated that he had heard, from various sources, of the existence of Democratic intimidation in the TParishes of East aud West Feliciana, but had 1o persoval knowledge of the same. ' He counld ot say, from personal kuowledge, whether the rotest of James E. Anderson was before the teturning Board or not. Mr. Kellogg then, in réply to Mr. Potter's fnquiries, stated that he had no knowledge of any applications for Fedcral troops baving been wmade by toe clection officers in the Parishes ot Eastor West Feliciuna on the day of election. KELLEY CONTRADICTED. Witness was questioned in regard to state- meuts wade before the Sub-Comymnittee by Kel- Jey, Supervisor of Richland Parish, aud contra- dicted his testimony, denyiog he ever prepared a protest for Kelley, and stating if it was as Claimed the paper itself coutd be produced, and the nandwriting would show for itseif. Q.—Were you apprehensive of losing the vote of East Feliciana until shortly before the elec- tion? A.—Yes, sir: when Gov. Packard visited there, wecks before the election be informed us that the parish would' probably be lost to the Republicans by reason of intimdation. ‘©.—Did you, or uot, know the colored people came into the different polls, many of them with'bauds and flags, end with much entnusi- asm, and_voted the Democratic ticket in East Felfcfuna? A.—I did m':-r_ I kuoow. it was re- ried_zo to some exten! PG D1d you, or not, know that the Kepub- Ticans on that day stood around the polls, and when invited to vote declined to do so on the und that they had no printed tickets, and When written ickets were offered declined to use them! _A.—I do not know, that, but it may ve been the fact. - . - B bl haQ.—-Did you, or not, know that when the Re- ! ‘publican leaders were {nformed that the Demo- crats had conciliated the colored voters they then said -the vote-of the parish would be torown out? A.—I do not think iv would have been safe for any man to bave said that It would baye been thought they were a in movement of that kind, and I do think * THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. 1 think Anderson did apout all there was done of that kind of business, - My opinion has al- ways been that Anderson did not help “matters up there very generslly fn regard to the election. Q.—But,in rezard tothe exclusion of 2,000 and ©0dd Democratic votes. that wera thrown outy ‘e belped considerably, did he not? A.—Yes, sir, be did.. He protested, as he states, accord- ing to the fact, and afterwards I have no doubt the opposition thought they bad secured him, and tEey cashed lus worthless warrants, and paid him money, énd the next day after the election took him to Baton Rouge and put him on his way rejoiciog. Q.—I sappose you are aware Anderson now says be did not ‘assert in substance the facts contained {n his protest as signed? A.—Very likely; aud he may also have stated to these mentlemen he would not make any protest, bat he did do so, aud now he suys—probably for a cousideration—he did not sign. the protest, but he certaluly did sizu ic. o Q.—What was the object to be gained by in- timidating voters? A.—Simply to create a'con- dition of affairs that would RESULT IN TURMOIL AND GENERAL DISOKDER, hoping something might come up for the bene- 1it of the *‘outs " as against the **ins.” It was u contest between parties simply. .—And would the *‘outs,” in order to get in, take such measures that a vote of the parish would be thrown out entirely? A.—1 will tell you exactlv about that. The “outs” were com- posed of a class of people who, while they knew the colored people were in the majority, were determined they should not exercise thelr legal rights of citizenshio, and acted on that idea. Q.—That being so, what had they to gain by attkmpting to iutimidate auybody at the polis? ‘A.—They had this to guin: They hoped the resuit would be reached which has been reached fu that and other States, and they were deter- mined mot to submit -to. thc exercise of the rieht of suffraze by colored people who lad Dbeen emaucipated by the War, though they were in a larme majority. They hoped the Government would be “overthrown. When the Constitution was framed, toeir local papers said it would only last six or elght months. Q.—Do you not think it might have occurred to some of them to try to conciliate the colored peoplel A.—The cotored people were concil- {ated in many parishes by the shot-zun. They did attempt conciliation in someinstances, how- ever, and I endeayored to sccond then, as, for instance, in Kost Feliciata. Witness, in reference to questions, stated nu- merous instances in_which - Republican officers were driven out of their parishes by Democrats previous to the election of 1876, and said he would furnish the Committee a list of names of persons killed, hung, and whipped for political reasons, il they so ddsired.” DECLINES TO ANSWER. Gen. Butler interrogated Senator Rellogg, and then said, in the way of guestion: © I under- stand thestate of the fact to be that all the members of the visiting commission but one had Federal offices ziven or tendered to them, and that one was largely lnterested in a whisky case which was settied. Al of the Returning Board, and all the Supervisors except one, Weber, who was killed, and Capt. Jenks, ) Jenks, and her sister, or brother, have all b rewarded under the Civil-Service order of the Admivistration for action in the election, or otlier canses.”” Mr. Hiscock said that the question was cate- gorical uud mnust be answered ¢ ves 7 or “ no.” Geu. Butier then modified his question us follows: **Have any of them not been um)oinu ed to Federal offices, 5o far as you know {" Mr. iscock objected to the question, on the ground that a fact must be proved by aflirma- tive and NOT BY NEGATIVE TESTIMONY. Mr. Butler modificd his question, and Senator Kelloge answered it by showing that, according to bis knowledge, some of the Comahission had been appointed to Federal oilices, and, also, that some of tue Superyisors whom he numed had also been appointed to places. Mr. Butler then asked: “Do you know any reason, or of any special qualilivation of any oue of these persous, why thcy, more than any oth- ers, shauid be appointed to oftice unless 1 cou- nection with service in Loulsiana pol! i Mr. Hiscock objected Lo the-question, saymng that itwas intended to 1zaie the Administration appear ridiculous. Air. Butler said that e could not render the Administration more ridiculous than it had ren- dered itsclf. 5 Mr. Hiscock—L thank thg gentleman for that remark. It characterizes TIIE WHOLE PURPOSE OF 1IS INQUIRY. After further discussion between Messrs, But- ler and Hiscock, tbe Chairmau stated that us there had been a charge of corrupt clection and retury in Louisiava, it was pertinent to show that men connected with that matter had been appointed to oflice, and thet that was their only qualitication to such ofiice. He thought tue question a proper one: The witness—With the exception of James E. Anderson, - all the parties named I believe to have been appoluted beeause they were vompetent 1o the - discharge of their respective offices, and they. were men of suilicient character to justify their ao- pointment, aud had also been true, consisteut, and working Republicaus in the last campuen, and I think there are more Republicans of rood character who were eflicient 2nd active in the campaign who ought to be appointed to office for that very reason, if they are otheriise com- petent aud upright. Q.—Tiese othier honest and noble men of wliom you speak did nos bappen to be Super- visors who made protests at the time of the election, did they? "A.—They may npot lave doue that, but they were MORE OR LESS PROMINENT in the Inst cle By Mr. Hiscac] —E. L. Weber has sworn before the Sub-Comnittee that you fusticated hios to go to Mississippi aod testify there before the Congressional Committee. Pleasc state all you know about that! A.—Mr. Weber was o member of the Cominittee appoiuted by the State Senate to investizate rezarding the al- legred violence in the Parishes of East and West Feliciana, ond that Commitree had made a ro- eon in writing which had not been printed. When the Boutwell Committee went down to Louisiana, Weber was anxious to apnear before it with this fomous manuscript. Ie was in the city about the time, and expressed a desire to go before them, and I may have sug- mested to bim that he had better go if he wanted to, but av thetime he testified I was not aware of his doing £o, because I was in attend- ance at the Cinciunati Convention. Witness was_then questioned by Mr. Hiscock in regard " to violence and intimidation ju the East sud West . Feliciana parishes, and stated his intormation was based upon telegrams re- celved, the substauce of which he had embodied in 8 telegram sent by him to Zack Chandler, Q.—At the time you forwarded that dispatch to Chandier there had been communicated to you facts upon which you predicated it, and Which induced you to Ubelieve the contents of that telegram to be true, aud you believe them et! A.—Ihad large numbers of dispitches clore me from the Supervisors of those par- ishes, and 1 BELIEVED THEM AT TIE TIME, and have never haa. any oceasion to change my opinion, except that 1 had doubts as to whether they were correct in the statement that any con- siderable number of armed men came over from )[Hssissippl or Arkansas at the time of the elec- tion. . Q.—From the facts which came toyour knowl- edge, is it your opimon that intimidation arose by reason of Lhe carrying out of any settled or delined plan on the part of the bulldozers, or was it a natuari exhibition of feeling and con- duct on the part of the whites on account of their antagonism to n Government by the negroes! . A.—1 think there was a determina- tion to carry those five parishes specially, be- cause they were ENOWN TO BE REPUBLICAN. That the action of local politicians may not have furnished a further arcument to intensify the feeling azajust the Republicans on the part of the whites, I do not pretena to deny, s to one or two purishes. By Chairman—Referring to E. L. Weber's letter to you concerning outrages in East Feliciana, I'will ask you if there was not a good @eal of that xind of Ietter-writing in Lowsiana at that time. A.—Wcber was one of those men ‘who used to write such letters as that, in which be mixed up o great deal of truthand a great dedl of romance. * He was a very sanguine, zeal- ous man. + The Chairman then questioned witness' in re- gard to thesigningol the second sct ot Electoral returns, and the action of the Electorsl Com- mission thereon, but no new facts were elicited. The Committce tlien went into_executive ses- sion, and adjourned till the 23d of July, to meet at Atlandgje City, N. J. - ¢ LOUISIANA. ONE FISKE TESTIFIES. “~ - New OrLeaxs; La., July 18.—Before -the Sub-Commuittee to-day Heary C.

IN “THE DITCH. Bpectal Dispatch to The Tridune, Wasmxeroy, D. C., July 13.—While there fs still creat reticence at the Trelsury Department in regard to the specific reasons for the late changes in the New York Custom-House, those who are likely to Le well informed assert that the removals will be made to appear very clearly o the country as for cause. While some new features of complaiut on the side of the De- partment bave beeu developed by the investiga- tions which have taken place by the Treasury Commission examiniug the question of under- valuations, still prominent causes of dissatis- factfon have existed ever since tne first at- tempt to remove Coltector Arthur. It is now known that, since the action of the Senato refusing to sustala his removal, the Custom-Houso officiale, - not only fn the Col- lector’s immediate office, but in various divisions of the otlice, have s NOT GIVEN A CORDIAL ASIENT to the reforms insisted on by the Department, which were the result 6f such recommenda- tions of the Jay Commission as were adopted by the Treasury. In somc 6f these rélorms Col- lector Arthur, after full consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, and after hav- ing been instructed on two several occasions to carry them fnto effect, made koown his strenu- ous objections to enforcing them, and ft was at that time that the ‘Scerétary informed .him that his removal must follgw. It is also a fact that in ;the reductions which were ordered at that Hine, professional poli- ticians and sinceures who held places in various offices of the Custom:House wero retained, while many of the most cflicient subordinates in the service were selected for the reductions which were ordered by tht Department. It is further true that, while.the Department prom- ised protection to all emuloyes of the Custom- House who would come forward and testify be- fore the Jay Commissign, a number of the most prominent of these witnesses - IAVE BEEN SINCE DIsu1ssED by the Collector. b The Department has *also reached a declsion that it will -be impossible to institute the mecessary reforms pointed ont by the Commission, now in session without a thorough change in the orzanization of the Custom-House, siiicé the oflicials at the head, and especially Some of the prominent subordinates, scem to have bnd no sympathy whatever with the movement. “There is much reeret smong those friends of the Administration who are acquainted with all the lucts and reasons whigh led to the first re- moval of Coilectors Arthur and Cornell, thit ;\mmisv.nninn did 'not at the time make ts i CORRESPONDENCE WITJI SENATOR CONKLING 45 Chairman of the Senate Committee on Com- merce.

They ~First Met---Their - Friendship and Consul« : _tafions. Mr. Leonard - History of Mr. Lincoln’s Nomination. Discussion Over the Formation of the Cabinet, To the Editor of The Tribune. Cricaco, July 13.—In the many years elapsed since the Chicago Conventfon, we have sll met hundreds of men who profess to have first sue- tested the name of Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, or first wrote an articls in ‘His be- Lalf, or who did somethine in the Convention which was pivotal, and on which the result de- pended. Idonot, at this late date, come asa new Richmond fn the fielo, and what s sald here of that Conventlon should be considered in counection with the cfforts of others to the same end, all of which togetber coustituted that spontancous force which gave to the nation and history 3 name cmbalmed in the hearts of the pure and the good throughout the world, Iwrite this because the article of Mr. Thur- low Weed, published in your paper last Mon- Qay, has turned loose upon me the Incorrigible interviewer. He rings my bell after I am in bed at night, politely sugzesting that ho will call ugain, and his bland smile first greets me in the ante-room of my oflice fu the morning. Tunderstand well his fertile imagination and invenrive qualities, and, therefore, have pur- chased my peace ot the eXxpense of a promise that I would write for bis paper -something of the Chicago Couventfon, and the facts involved in Mr. Weed’s letter. 1arrived at Chicago on Monday before the Frday of Mr. Lincoln’s nomination. - SENATOR DAVIS had been upon the ground ‘since the Saturday worning previous. He was the Judze pefore whom I bad constantly practiced since my ad- mission to the Bar, and was many years my scnior. Through his efforts Indisna had been induced to join Ilinois in presonting the name of Mr. Lincoln. “*1f you will put yourself at my disposal day and nignt,” he said to me, *‘I believe Lincoln can be nominated.” This awnkened the first real hope I ever had of that result. I assented to his proposition, and immediately the service was begun. So little had Mr. Lincoln’s friends expected success, that the Illinofs delegation had not even any headquarters previously en- gaged. The hotets were, of course, full,and the place it did occupy was obtained by induc- ing private families to give up their rooms for this purpose. - Of course, the first question was whether or not Mr. Weed, who was confessedly in the leadership. of the Sewurd movement, could carry ofl the nomination by main strength and on the first ballor. If jt should prove that he coitld not. then our hopes attached, for we be- Tieved Mr. Liucoln could concentrate the forces, as against Chase, Cameron, or Bates. The efforts of his iriends, therefore, were di- rected to getting for Mr. Lincoln the strength of these men after their personal hopes should be abandoned. ) Everybody who knows politicians knows that what they worsbip.is the zod of success. The friends of Mr. Lincoin . knew this, and saw their chance In securing, upon the failure of Mr: Seward aflirmatively to carry the Conven- tion, 8 great demonstrazion of screngch as be- tween Mr. Lincoin and the other canaidates. TUIS CHANCE LAY IN PENNSYLVANIA, which had, as 1 remember, fifty-lour votes. ‘The Seward mea were laboring with the dele- pates.frow that State, and so were the friends of Mr. Lincoln, and both “were' hopeful: but in the small nours of Friday ‘moruing, in a room in the Tremont House, two of Mr. Lincoln's fricuds and two of Mr. Cameron’s being pres- ent, our arguments prevailed, and the Cameron men prreed 1o come to us . upon the second bal- Jot. ‘They diid 50 rizht nohly, and gave us lorty- cizht votes. This, with other accessions, was a blow in the centre which disorgunized the forees o1 the great vpponent -and revesled the d, the thousands of the Wigwam i the inspiration, he was immediately nominated. i Lo the Cameron men the . friends of Mr. Lin- coln and the uation should be grateful; but, as between Slr. Seward’s friends and bis, it may well be doudted whether the result effected ht- e clse than sowing the seeds of mutual Jealvusy and distrust. After the joy of the oceasion had subsided, and the Coovention adjourned, a Mr. Hum- phreys, who was u member of the New York delegation, and who had formeriy lived in Bloonuceton, Ill., eame to me and said Mr. Weed wus feeling badly as che result, gud some of us ouht to call upon him. [ asked him to o gud introduce us; but, because, as I remem- Ser, he Gid not know him personally, he de- clined, and Judee Davis and I went siove. He “was at tho Richmond House, accompanicd by- that daughter who has given to bim her life. ‘This was_the first time: either of us had met him, and I shall always remember the interview. Mr. Weed did not taik unerily as to tbe re- sult, or cowplain of any one. 1 remember THE SUDSTANCE OF I3 WORDS, as, with much fecling and confessiug that to be the great diszppointment of his life, he sald: “1 noped to make my friend, Mr. Seward, Presi- dent, and I thought Lcould serve my country in s0 doinz.” 5 He was a larger man_intellectually than T an- ticipated, and of flner fibre. ‘There was in him un element of gentlencss and a large humnanity which won 1ne, aud I was pleased no less than surprised. We urged upon him the propriety of making Mr., Lincoin’s acquaintance beiore he returned. He was going for some purpose to Iowa, and we finally arranged that he should telegraph us at Bloomimgeon what day he could be in Spring- field pon his retucn, as we had offcred, -if le would do so, to meet him there and introduce him. We Gid mect bim- according to his dispatch, and were present at the interview, which was of a general charavter, upon the prospects of the campaign and the condition of the country. AMr. Weed’s nccount of the interview i refer- ence to the formation of the Cabinet is correct, except be overcstimates in recard to ft the ith- portance of Judge Davis and myself. 1also indorse all he suys of his subscquént relatious with Mr. Lincoln. ‘About a month after theelection, in conversa- tion with Mr. Lincoln, 5 THE PROPRIETY OF CONSULTING MR, WEED upou the formation of his Cabinet and the gen- cral condition of the country, which bad_begun t0 assume a threatening aspect, was under dis- cussion. In conclusion, he asked me to write a letter to Mr. Weed, saying that he would like to sce him, and asking himt to come to Soring- field for that purpose. I did so, and in a few Qays he came to Bloomington, and Judge Dals and myself went to Springficld with bim. Mr. Seward had alrcady been selected, although, perbaps, no one knew it, and at the opening of the nterview Mr. Lincoln announced that fact. As to the rest of the Cabinet, 1t was sn open question, although some names had been fixed upon, unless subscantial objectionssnould arise, and others were being favorably considered. Judee Davis and myself were present by courtesy; but the substance of the interview was between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Weed, and the object was to obtain his opiuions upon all the material questions connected with the open- ing of the Administration. These interviews were protracted through several days, and every possible subjeet discussed. Gen. Cameron was desirous of being Secre- tary of the Treasury, and the question of his relations to the Cabinet was cousidered. This was the only subject upon which Mr. Weed, as it seemed to me, did not speak with eatire frec- dom, He spoke kindly of Gen. Cameron, said that Penusylvania was entitled to a place ia the Cabinet, and uadoubtedly that State would be for him. fc thought, however, it would be -wiser to ‘give him soml:t glnce othier than the Treasurgahip. He thought Mr. Chase the prop- ot man for that pénee, and, both agreeing, this secmed to pass as ixed. * Mr. Llucpoiu tnen suggested Edward Bates and Caleb -B. Smith. Tge fl."lc‘c‘tigu ‘o((: \‘lcrh ates was heartily approved, and that of Ca B P T Al Wellcs and Mr. Blair he made strong opposition. In refercuce 10 Mr. Welles, Mr. Lincoln said ke had con- ferred with Mr. Hamlin. I think he bad met him fo Chicago after the clection, and he being g New England man, and New England haying larize shipping futerests, Mr. Lincoln bed tendered to him'the selection cf the Secretary of theNavy. Mr. Hemlin hadselccted Mr. Welles, and thereiore theonty question was as to whether he was personally untit. Thie result of this was that Alr. Lincoln said “he would” take several names suziested under advisement, but, 83 the result shows, e sdhered o lhqung‘luxl_ pur- ose.” 2 1N REFERENCE TO MR. DLAIR, Afr. Weed insisted if Mr. Linoln tovk bim fnto the Cabinet he would regret it. Heinsisted that Swott Tells the Inside 1 5 the Blair blood was. troubiesome, and - traced evidence of this back to the hth:‘r'! and Jack- son’s time. - 3r. Lincoln repifed that he ‘must have some ons from the Horder States, and Montgomery Blair secmed to possess more of this element than any other avaitable person, because he lived fn Maryland, and - Frank, his brother, in Missouri. Mr. Weed's porry was firat made with Heury Wiater Davis.~ I thought in this he hoped for more support from Judge Davis tban he actual- ¥ recelved, he being his cousin, and tinally he changed to Mr. Gilmer, ot North Caroling, and mndl‘uonnrly succeeded. Mr. -Lincoln - Knew Mr. Gilmer favorably, and the result was that he sald If Mr. Weed would o to see Gilmer, who was then in \yashiogton, and there was no %&;\;l}:n(;ll his fl(}dlly,[ l}: Wouéfl lrpfllnt' hlmd secession of Nortn Carolina. spotle this, and Mr. Blair was selected. 5y ONE TIING IN THESE INTERVIEWS IMPNESSED ME.. From the begiunine to the end, Mr. Weed did Tot intimate that he wanted anything, citber for himself or for any friend, and made 1o per- sonal requests of any character whatsoever. It was slmply an earuest discussion in regard to the condition of the country and what was for its Interests. Both men were re- morkable in stature and appearsnce. Mr. Lincoln was six feet three and a half in height, and Mr. Weed more thag six feet. Both had rough, strongiy-mark- ed features, and both had risen by their own exertions from humble relations to the control of a nation whose destinies they were then sbaping. IL 1 but shut my eyes Ican recall ss if but yesterday thoee strongly-marked fizures and features - photogravhed on my miud, as they sat in the parlor of Mr. Lincoin's home, oppo- site each other, anxiously considerinz _the fu- ture, and endeavoring 1o avert the great danger which then bgan to threaten, - It'wosin these iuterviews that Mr. Lincoln first learned certaln facts in reference to manu- facture of arms which admitted of no other possible Intentlon but that of war, and here It Was that first passcd over him that shadow which deepened futo sadness as the Waur pro- gressed. Ar. Lincoln and Mr. Weed, to usc our rough ohrase, naturally “took to ench otner™ from the very day théy met,and their relations grew. eraduaily more agreeable and friendly until the day of tne former’s death. Often, when knotty questions arose, Mr. Lin- coln would send for him to consult, or, stating a case, ask bim to arrauze or .suggest a way in which what he wanted to bs done could be done most casily. More than o score of times, 1 believe, such messazes have beon sent through me; and, while Mr. Weed was a man always wanting political positions for the army of friends who denended on bim, and sometimes complatn2d that he did not et his share, he never avalled himself of a pinch or necessity to get what_otherwise he found difli- culty in obtaining. He did what was wanted to be done, or devised what was to be devised, with" cheerfulness, never intermingling with sach services any complaiats ur requests, and never demarding “political rewards for them aflterwards, . One of these remarkable men is dead. For the other, all who know his inuer life in the ripeacss of his age will exclaim: Serus in culum redeas. LEONARD 8WETT. THE RAILROADS. ANOTHER VANDERBILT CONFER- ENCE. Vanderbilt and his railroad managers do not seem to have gotten through their labors at Saratoga. - Another meeting of the same parties has just been called, to be *held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in this city, on the 23d of this month.” 1t is understood that the principal abject of this meeting {s to consider_certain chunges among the working oflicials of Vander- bilt’s thrze Western lioes.” Rumors iy around thick and fast regarding these chauges, buc nonc of them can be traced to any retiable source. There scems to be an impression that all the general officcs of tne Michi- gan Central will be removed to Detroit, ana that only local agents,as on the Lake Shore, will remain here to attend to the busi- ness at this end. Ifsuch is Vanderbilt's inten- tion, he certainly will make a great mistake, for it is at this end that the Michiran Central gets most of its business, and it is right here that the general oflicials can do the most zood. Another thine to be considered at the meet- ing on the 23d is the abolition or concentration ol the fast freizht lines which now run over the Micigan Central and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroads. It is believed that all the Iast freight lines running over these roads, ex- cept the Merchanu's Dispateh, which is 2 Vanderbilt monopoly,. will be abol- ished gs under the 'mew pooiinz ar rangzement there will be " no' use for a muititude of fost freight . lines that compete with one apother. An effort will be made to keep up the Blue and Canada Southern Lines on the Michigan Central 20d the Red and White Lines on the Lake Shore & Michizan Southern und Soutwestern lines that connbect with the New York Central. These_ lines being con- trolled more or less by the New York Central, may be given life for a while, but there can be no doubt that ultimately they will be absorbed by the Merchants’ Dispatch,” which, unlike the others, {s an incorporatéd oreznization owned almost exclusively by Vaoderbilt, ana does busibess on_a commission to be paid by the roads. There are-some people who try to accord credit to Vanderbilt for not al- Iowing an advance to be made in freight rates at this time. These people do uot seem to be aware of the fact that Jow rail rates during the Davization season seriously injure the interest: of this city. If the rall rates are low from Chi- cago, they are correspondingly low from other competing points, und vice versa. ‘Therefore, if the ruil rates are low enough to compete, with the lake rates, as they now are, businees is di- verted {rom this city, aud goes around iz by rail. But if the rail rates are reasonably high, business will naturally seek the cheaper lake route, and must necessarily come to_Chicago. ‘Vanderbilt, by keeping the rates down duringrthe sumumner, forces the bulk of the grain business to Buifalo, where the New York Central gets it. During the winter season, whea navigation is closed, Vanderbilt will undoubtedly sce to it that the rates are raised high enough to pay & handsome profit.. There is o probability that the managers of all other Eastern roads will be invited to attend the meeting in this citv on the 2d, sod that an attemps will be made to reorganize another Fast-bound povl. A gentleman of hizh reputa- tion and great experience in the Ireight business has already been selected as_the Commissioner of the new pool, and ho only awais the con- summation of the new_ arrangemeut to receive the formal sppointment to the position. THE' LOVE-FEAST. Spectal Disvaten to The Tridbunz. New Yorx, July 18.—The Kaflroad Confer- ence at Saratoza has concluded its labors, and the results likely to be attained are highly fa- vorable, so far as known. The proposition of Mr. Vanderbilt to refer the question of the di- vision of through basiness between the Great ‘Western and Canada Southern to Mr. Scott, ot the Pennsylvania Central, bas been accepted by the former, and the matter will be heard next week. It has been decided to admit the Chicago & Alton Road iu thethrough-line stock business from St. Louis to New York. The assertion is made tbat the cconomies about to be instituted among the Vanderbilt properties will result in a saving of $1,000,000 .annualiy to those roads. It secms probable that the mau- agers of the trunk Jines will meet again -next week, after Laving_thoroughly considered the uestions discassed at the Saratoza Conference this week, and that entire barmony will prevail. Mr. Vaoderbilt’s course In seeking to scttle all differences between the trunk lines is highly commended. ITEMS. On and after to-day the Michigan Central Railroad will add to its Atlantic express, which leaves Chicago dally at 5:15 p. m., another Wagner sleeping-car for New York. This sleep- er is to run through to New York without change, via the Canada Southern and New York Central * Raflroads. _Heretolore no _throuzh slceper for New York has been sent via the Cauada Southern.
